Yes I do feel the same way about lottery tickets.



You clearly don't understand risk/reward then. It seems to me like you don't like the idea of people earning more than you deem they are due to earn. Investments and the like are not a statically defined 9-5 job. That's why most people don't invest and even fewer invest profitably. It requires a combination of luck, intelligence and foresight to make good investments. Just as making ~75 million on a $250k investment is absurdly high, making $0 on $250k is absurdly bad. It would take most people 4-5+ years to save that much money. That's an insane amount of money to lose on a company that lets you put a filter on your photos.


Well I sure assumed wrong...
